"It's nothing," Hank Clegg let go of Victoria, and with his finger, he gently flicked her forehead, "Normally as dim as a hamster, but at times like this, you're as sharp as if you've been robbed by aliens."
"Why would hamsters be dim! Your comparison is totally unfounded!" Victoria immediately started to protest, "Oh, wait... why are you calling me dim?!"
"Oh." Hank Clegg casually replied, "Because you're missing the main point of the issue."
"Hmph! I'm angry now!" Victoria huffed and splashed the water.
"Such a temper," Hank Clegg attempted to embrace Victoria but she pushed him away irritably.
So Hank Clegg, utilizing his brute force, forcefully pulled her into his arms and held her against his chest.
"I'm praising you, can't you hear it?" Teasing her into anger was just to coax her, for it wouldn't be fun if she wasn't irritated.
"I didn't hear it!" Victoria huffed and turned her head away.
